What is Colic?Colic is believed to affect about 20% of otherwise healthy well-fed babies. Colic is a broad term which is defined by its symptoms rather than a particular cause. In general, colic starts around three weeks of age, reaches its peak at around six weeks and then usually begins to lessen around three or four months of age. A baby is described as having colic by episodes of uncontrollable, extended crying and discomfort. Colic crying has been typically described as a high-pitched scream, occurring mainly in the late afternoon or evening but it may occur at other times. Characteristically, an infant's knees are drawn up to the abdomen, face is flushed, and fists are clenched. Additionally discomfort and fussiness point toward colic. Although all babies can be fussy and show discomfort only a severely fussy baby might be characterized as colicky.

2011 Colic Clinical Study

New clinical study shows80% of mothers of colicky babies using BornFree™ ActiveFlow bottles reported a significant reduction in colic symptoms within one week!

Identifying ColicIdentifying the difference between normal and simple fussiness and a full blown colic is very difficult.

Your child's doctor would use the Rule of Three to diagnose the colic infant.

If the baby cries desolately for 3 hours or more a day.

Cries desolately on 3 or more days per week.

Has a pattern of desolate crying that lasts 3 weeks or more.

That means the baby is crying due to colic. When the baby starts crying inconsolably for hours together, it becomes extremely difficult for any parent to wait for three weeks for a diagnosis.

Before you get a confirmation from your baby's doctor you can consider the following to be an absolute symptom of colic:

If the baby cries and cannot be calmed with any method which you usually do for example feeding, holding, rocking, changing etc.

Crying in set pattern like in the evening or in the middle of the night etc.

There is no known cure for colic although studies have shown that a vented baby bottle will help alleviate a baby's discomfort as well burping your child after feeding. The BornFree Venting System simple two part venting system is specially designed to reduce the vacuum build-up inside bottles that often can lead to gas, spit-up and painful colic in newborns.

The vent allows a continuous free flow of air into the nipple while the baby is feeding. The free flow silicone air valve incorporated into the BornFree Venting System breathes together with your feeding baby and starts a steady flow of liquid only when your baby suckles, just like breastfeeding.

ActiveFlow, where babies control their own flow of milk, makes for a comfortable and easy feed for both of you.

About BornFree

BornFree specializes in producing smart and safe baby products. BornFree has developed a range of products that are free of the potentially dangerous chemicals bisphenol-a (bpa), phthalates and pvc. Bpa is a known estrogen mimicker that is used in the production of polycarbonate plastic. According to researchers, bpa may cause developmental and neurological problems if it leaches from plastic. Reports suggest that small amounts of bpa may leach into food or beverages stored in polycarbonate containers, especially when the contents are heated. In addition, BornFree's cups and bottles feature the unique BornFree venting system, designed to reduce colic and ear infections. We will shortly be extending our product line to include more high quality toxin-free products.
